Da hell is this sideshow turning into? After a veritable alphabet soup of parties involved in the Park Shi Hoo rape investigation ranging from A to K, now there is yet another person speaking out on the case. SERIOUSLY? People need be shutting up here is all I can say. Alternatively referred to in the media as Park Shi Hoo’s … Continue reading →
From what unreal planet of adorableness doth these two come from? How did the earthling universe know to combine them together into one even more squeeworthy bundle of preciousness? Can I implant universal translators into their brain so they can communicate with each other henceforth and promptly fall in love and make dorky cute babies? With the variety show We … Continue reading →

The rest of the princes and ladies may make a cameo appearance but nothing is confirmed at this time. … Continue reading →
The Park Shi Hoo rape investigation continues to take on an air of the absurd as the accused has filed suit against the alleged victim and a whole host of people have found themselves now an involved party in this mess. To counter the allegation that A made up the alleged rape and is looking to extort money from Park … Continue reading →
And just like that…..he’s off to the army. As he said he would do, Yoo Seung Ho enlisted for his mandatory military service today without a single media or fan member present to send him off. That’s quite a startling contrast to the majority of star enlistments, especially stars of his degree of popularity, where the media is camped out and his … Continue reading →
When I was in Asia last week, the entertainment shows were all covering the expanding barrage of press material and activities associated with the upcoming period wuxia movie Saving General Yang. It premieres early April worldwide which is a pretty ballsy movie for a HK flick. Starring Adam Cheng, Ekin Cheng, Wu Zun, Vic Zhou, and Raymond Lam, among others, … Continue reading →
So I’m totally and completely jet lagged. Again. I’ve been doing international travel multiple times a year since I was 5 years old but good gracious the tolerance is inversely proportional to experience and instead manifests itself with age. As I painfully tossed and turned in my comfy bed, I ended up trying to watch random dramas to see if … Continue reading →
The best defense is a good offense?

It’s been a week since Yoon Si Yoon wrapped up a successful run as free-spirited Enrique Geum on the youthful cable rom-com Flower Boy Next Door co-starring Park Shin Hye and Kim Ji Hoon. Contrary to my initial worry that I would be torn between two leading men that I love equally, the story made the decision easy for me … Continue reading →
We’re one week out from the premiere of The Best Lee Soon Shin and I’m getting more and more excited. I always want to like at least one weekend family drama a year because its makes a nice contrast to the sleeker fare of the primetime shows. It’s predecessor My Daughter Seo Young has done such phenomenal ratings and TBLSS … Continue reading →
The long-discussed sequel to the 2011 time-traveling period C-drama hit Bu Bu Jing Xin started filming this weekend. The first scene filmed was between Liu Shi Shi and Ye Zhu Xin who played 10th Prince in the original. The sequel is given a different but similar name of Bu Bu Jing Qing (Startling Love with Each Step) and is set … Continue reading →
Sometimes a mega ad campaign works wonders to gain brand recognition. A few years ago, Shiseido got Oguri Shun, Eita, Tsumabuki Satosi, and Miura Haruma together to hawk its line of hair car products called Uno Fog Bar. See, I’m not even a guy, and I don’t live in Japan, but I know that product thanks to a totally awesome … Continue reading →
